FORMNEW.GEN ReadMe file
FORMNEW.GEN is a modified version of the FORM.GEN that comes with
dBASE IV 1.1. Enhancements include:
* If DOS variable DTL_REQUIRED exists and is set to ASK,
ask user if REQUIRED should be inserted. If DTL_REQUIRED is
set to anything else, automatically insert REQUIRED w/o
asking. (ex. SET DTL_REQUIRED=ON)
* Ignore 1x1 memo boxes (allows user to open
memo marker to full-screen edit mode).
* No KEYBOARD reference in lookup program for character fields.
The main enhancement of FORMNEW is its ability to automatically
place the REQUIRED keyword in format files (See page 26 of the
1.1 TechNotes issue that comes with dBASE IV or page 2-14 of the
new Language Reference manual for more information).
Tony Lima has also uploaded a template on this same board that
allows for selective use of the REQUIRED option. By reviewing
both, one can start seeing the flexibility of this very
important and powerful feature of dBASE IV - The Template
Language.
